TBT: Martin Luther King on riots

"A riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?" For many, this 1967 speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. still resonates today...

    Martin Luther Kings agenda must happen or we will perish as a nation. As far as im concerned he was one of the greatest men that ever lived

    Riots develop when people don't create enough businesses and jobs to sustain themselves, King!

    Despicable ..using the words of a great man to suggest that today's riots are anything like those back in the 60's.Today its all about the left and its reluctance to accept the results of an election...This isn't black against white or vice versa..today it's about political ideologies pitted against one another.One using perceived inequality as an impetus to death and destruction. They don't have the same caring or true passion of Dr.King and to use his memory to justify violence is typical of low life thugs.

    Listen to the whole speech. This snippet takes it out of context. Listen to the whole speech.

    Please stay safe and try to remember that there are many of us out here that see you as a man...not just a black man! I would be honored to have you as a friend.

    He is the reason black men don't sleep. He once had a dream and you know what happened to him.

    Nice speech, though condoning rioting is completely unacceptable regardless of the status quo, in the end leads to chaos and frustration, he knew it so well. Learning to behave brings more acceptance as it shows moral integrity and earned respect regardless of race.

    Riot and looting vs stealing are two different things.

    Print the speech in its entirety instead of using a small quote to justify your behavior....Dr. King would be appalled with this....he NEVER advocated violence and insisted everyone who walked in protest along side him was well dressed and held themselves with pride....total class!
